Chapter 989: Chapter 41: Thousand-Mile Eye (Transcendent), Arrival of the Goddess, Conspiracy

"Don’t let your guard down, no matter what, you’re being targeted now..."

The blonde girl in the red dress sat on the sofa, speaking in a huff, arms crossed in front of her chest, looking quite displeased.

"You have no idea about the means of a magician, don’t think the daytime is safe, there’s no such thing. Don’t expect the police or anyone to help you..."

Returning to the apartment building, in this temporary base, she finally let out a small sigh of relief. During the entire way back, her nerves had been tense, worried about any unpredictable incidents on the road. Who knows, there might be an ambush of five hundred axemen on the way.

This kind of thing is not impossible.

"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand..."

Gu Mo sat on the opposite sofa, facing Erica’s well-meaning advice with a detached demeanor, nodding absentmindedly.

"Wait! What’s with that attitude?"

Noticing this quite sharply, Erica widened her eyes, both angry and annoyed, feeling her good intentions had been wasted... She clenched her fists, gritting her teeth, glaring angrily at the guy opposite, yet could only force herself to hold back.

It’s so infuriating!

Especially since he’s just an ordinary person who can’t take a single hit.

This made her want to vent her frustration and anger, but with nowhere to vent, naturally causing her blood pressure to shoot up.

"Ahem, no, no, I’m just a little worried about why Miss Emi hasn’t come back yet..." Gu Mo raised his head and said calmly, indicating that his inattention was due to his mind being drawn to another issue, explaining his distraction with reason.

"..."

"..."

Pressing her lips together, Erica took a deep breath, shifted her gaze, and scoffed, "She might have just gone a bit far, but there’s no problem. I’ve already talked to her; nothing happened."

"That’s good then..."

Gu Mo laughed awkwardly, indicating he was relieved now.

Of course, he knew nothing would happen. He even knew what had just transpired.

The time flow speed between worlds is not synchronized. If not for his simultaneous existence in different worlds, there would be no frame of reference between the time flow speed of these essentially detached realms. But speaking from the current world’s timeline, it indeed happened just "a moment ago"—

An abnormal temporal-spatial fluctuation occurred.

The world line process was distorted.

Time is essentially a cruel and unfeeling force. Mere humans, even with opportunities to change history, would be relentlessly erased. Yet even such a harsh and merciless timeline occasionally encounters a few irreversible changes. When such unexpected events occur, it calls for the intervention of "Guardians."

However, this inevitably presents a new problem...

What if even the existence of the "Guardians" themselves gets altered along with history?

This was not a conceivable scenario in the past, just as there are no known examples of historical correction failures... until now, until the unexpected emergence of Gu Mo, a "variable" who doesn’t belong to this world, bringing more "variables" along with him.

In this world line, the originally designated "King of the End" was Rama, the final manifested king from Indian Mythology.

The protagonist of one of India’s two major epic narratives, the "Ramayana." Born with the noble destiny to defeat Demon King Ravana, as the story goes, he was predestined to accomplish this heroic feat.

However, just now...

Just like the fate encountered by Greek Mythology, Indian Mythology encountered the same.

Much akin to the God Fusion Zeus from the Greek Anomaly Zone, Divine Arjuna from the Indian Anomaly Zone exhibited a similar nature, differing only in execution. The God Fusion Zeus, embodying the Authority Domain of every mechanistic God, is an all-divine monster, while Divine Arjuna, nearly devouring all Indian Gods, is equally an all-divine monster.

And when a monster encounters an even more terrifying monster, a chemical reaction naturally occurs.

Whether it’s Zeus or Arjuna, they can devour other Divine Spirits by force, appropriating the functions of other Divine Spirits for themselves. It stands to reason that when encountering another "Godslayer," that could defeat them and seize their Divine Power for their own use.

It’s essentially indistinguishable—

Whether it’s Greek Mythology or Indian Mythology...

The divinity representing them, the symbols embodying them, and their essence remain existing, albeit with a change in the one who holds authority in essence, it’s exactly that. If divine power is viewed as a uniquely valuable collection piece, this exchange is simply akin to a Collector trading a... item.

Only, for the Divine Spirit world involved, this is a subversive blow.

A tremendous transformation akin to altering the heavens and the earth.

Previously representing the entire Greek World, integrating the Authority of the Twelve Olympian Gods, Titan Gods, and numerous minor gods, the all-divine monster quickly conveys the essence through myth. Gu Mo directly gained an equivalent status within this mythology-heavy Dungeon World... along with the related burden.

Meanwhile, it led to a subtle unwitting distortion and change in the world line.

So now, as he once again gains the full divinity from Indian Mythology, what kind of impact will it have?

"So the hero who annihilates the Demon King, just switched to another one?"

Gu Mo leisurely looked towards the direction of the balcony, pondering like this. His gaze passed directly through the building and the street outside, seeing Amilia who was somewhat absent-minded walking back, probably due to the information revealed by Velaslana, she now appeared a bit conflicted.

The heroic maiden was unaware of what was going to happen next, even more unaware that she had misunderstood.

After all, under the strange "coincidence," the information obtained through cross-channel communication gave her a preconceived notion...

The response of the Correction Power was also very simple. Rama was not the "King of the End" from the beginning. This position has always existed, this fate has always existed. If it wasn’t Rama, it would be another god. As long as the criteria are met, one can rise to the position... and Amilia seems to become the latest choice for the Correction Power.

Firstly, she herself was born destined to annihilate the Demon King, bearing the fortune of another world. Whether in terms of origin, positioning, or the fate carried in her original world, all are very similar to Rama.

This is the first point.

As for the second point... Gu Mo had reason to believe that it was the increased weight from the fragments of two foundational seeds on her body.

Seed points are the fruits of the Tree of Life, which can naturally be seen as seeds. In this way, the future glimpse foreseen by Banriya Yuri seems to have gathered corresponding elements... thinking of that gigantic tree overturned under flames, truly replicating the "Twilight of the Gods," Gu Mo squinted his eyes slightly.

At this time, Erica seemed to be sulking and no longer spoke.

He chuckled and said nothing more.

The reason for being distracted earlier was actually still in feeling the gains obtained from Arjuna. As for omnipotence, he didn’t hope for that at all, after all, from Gai Tia to Arjuna, and even the stronger Zeus, all boasted about being "All-Knowing and All-Powerful"... but now, it still seems just like that.

More gains were mainly the complement in the area of authority. Almost all divine spirits in the two mythology systems have quite a portion of overlapping authority domains... These authority badges can be merged with each other to promote the simultaneous improvement of power quality and level.

Although not as massive as the gains from Zeus, to the point where Gu Mo was overstuffed, it was still a very significant enhancement.

Among them, it is worth mentioning that the "EX-level Thousand-Mile Eye" that Gu Mo had dreamed of was also obtained as desired.

Originally, he wanted to exploit Gai Tia, but unfortunately missed the opportunity during the battle of the Divine Hall of Time, and later never had another chance. Because people with this level of Thousand-Mile Eye are very rare and scarce, and besides Gai Tia, he found no enemy that met the criteria.

However, Divine Arjuna was an exception, possessing a Thousand-Mile Eye surpassing the human limit.

And this Ability Badge naturally fell into Gu Mo’s hands.

"It’s a pity, came a bit late..." Looking at the red badge quietly lying within the ability page, he sighed inwardly. Although this ability was more convenient and direct than using the Time Gem for observation, it no longer had any other advantages.

......

...

"Disgusting aura..."

Setting foot on the far eastern land, the silver-haired, black-eyed little girl seemed to perceive something, and looked up disgustedly.

In the sky over there, a divine white horse was walking across the void, this magical scene unabashed, yet no ordinary person could see it... and reflected in her pupils, it made her show a strong expression of disgust, for she saw through the symbol of the Divine Beast at a glance.

She bore many names.

Whether Gorgon or Medusa, they were just one of the names held in the past.

But the meanings they represented were the same, symbols of the past ruling over the Mediterranean, the honorary title of the Trinity Goddess.

The Sea God Poseidon was her arch-enemy, at least that’s how Greek Mythology tells it. But she didn’t hate the sea for that, because the sea and earth are deeply related to the essence that was stripped from her, the source of life... what she truly hated was the sun.

Shining brightness, the resplendent sky throne, those were the things that truly made the Queen of the Night unhappy.

And that Divine Beast resembling a white horse in appearance was related to these aspects.

The little girl withdrew her gaze, then lowered her head and continued moving forward, nearing the destination based on her senses... no matter what, she must reclaim everything that belonged to her.

......

Meanwhile.

"Something feels very wrong in this world..."

Inside a dim small room somewhere, two people who crossed realms to hunt the hero were seriously discussing the next plan—

"We shouldn’t act rashly, ultimately we should convey the message back, let the Celestial Realm send people over to handle it..."

"Killing the hero isn’t just the Church’s idea!"

"It’s also the will of the Celestial Realm!"

"The big figures in the Celestial Realm have long wanted to reclaim the Holy Sword in the hero’s hand, the Holy Sword is very important to them, they definitely won’t allow it to wander in another world! As long as we state the pros and cons, the holy angel army will surely cross the realm soon, then conquering this world will be nothing, easily achieved!"
